To'all 'whomit may concern.'

Be it known that I, A.losiii' ii' F.`Bmi' `zii-isKI a citizen ofthe United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois,'liave invented certain new and I useful improvements in Davenport-Beds, of which the folowingis a specification. l'

to improvements iiidavenport-beds and has for its object the 1 .provisioirof' an improved construction of this vcharacter which may be readily convert ed into either a davenport or a bed.

' The 'invention consists in y the combina- .described and claimed.

tions and arrangements parts hereinafter The inventionwill be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of-this specification, and` inwhichl l Figure 1 is a side` view of a davenp9rtbed embodyin my l'invention andv shown with one' of t e end members thereof removed and the parts positioned-for use as a davenport, Fig. 2, a similar view, but `showing the parts in position for use as a bed,l `ig. 3, a section taken on line -m o-fFig. 2, Fig. 4, a front view of the construction, 'Fig 5, a section taken on line gf--y ofFig. 4, and Fig. 6, a detail section taken through one ofthe end members showing the pivotal mounting employed for supporting theback member of the davenport.

The preferred form` of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises suitable end members 1 lwhich may be of any desired' shape' or construction. These end members are detachably connected together i by means of a head rail 2 which is detachv @portion witlran` inwardly extending trunwith a ably connected at each end with the corresponding end member by means'of va bifurf cated bracket 3 engaging a bolt 4 and a dowel `pin 5y as shown. The end members are also detachably connected by a 'supporting rail `Siwhich is provided ateach end headed stud engaging, suitable key hole sockets in the end members just as the side rail of an ordinary bed isl secured to the head andlfoot thereof. Each of the end members 1 is provided at its lower central nion 8 which fits'in a socket in the lower portion' of the 'corresponding end of a back j f memberi) which 'is adapted to'constitute the.

back of the davenport andl` a portion of the face with upholstering l1 and on its other .face with a mattress or other suitable bed` material12. l, A bed member 13'is hinged to the .upper rear portion of back member 9 to hang at therear thereof, said bed member being provided on one face with a mat` tress 13 or other suitable bed material and `at each side with a supporting leg 14 adapted to support the free edge thereof when the parts are utilizedjas Aa bed as indicated in Fig. 2. At each end back member 9 is provided .with a downwardly and forwardly extending bracket 15 and a seat member 16. is pivotally mounted between said brackets,A

the upper face of said seat membeiabeing provided with suitable upholstering 16. and j the outer end of said seat member being -mounted on swinging arms 17 pivoted there- ./to. .nd-to the corresponding end members,

s l arms being so'positione'd as to cause thev uter free edge of seat member 16 to be lift ed and placed on supporting rail 6 upon.

forward movement vof said seat member. Suitable straps 18 and 19 are arranged at the upper and free edge respectively of back member 9 and bed member 13 to facilitate manipulations, thereof.

In use all that is-.necessary to Convert the construction into a bed is to take hold ofthe 1 of seat member 16 into the position shown in i Fig. 2, and bed member 13 may then be moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 to complete the'bed, supporting legs 14 being utilized to support the free edge thereof. When it is desired 'to convert the construction into a davenport or couch, legs 14 are folded against the sides of bed member 13 and said member folded on to the top of back member 9. Then back member19v is swung upward to the position Showlriin Fig.

1 and seat member 1 6 will automatieallyasf sume its proper position. This construction Eis very simple comprising but few parts and is readily converted by a simple andv easily performed. manipulation.

While I have illustratedand described the I preferred lform of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification withoutdepartlng from the spiritiof the invention.

I, therefore, do not wish to belimited to the precise details of constructionset forth, `butdesire to avail myself of such variations and modifications' as come within the scope of theappended claims.

Having described my invention'what I l claim'as7new and desire to secure' by Letters Patent is :\t v f 1.
